One year after the tragic passing of three-year-old Alta Shula Swerdlov, family and friends of the Jerusalem resident and daughter of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries are dedicating a Torah scroll in her memory.

Commissioned in the weeks following the traffic accident that claimed her life, the holy scroll, also known as “Shula’s Torah,” represents just one of several projects launched by people around the world; thousands pledged to strengthen their Jewish observance in her merit, while a handful of Chabad Houses launched children’s programs bearing her name.

“There has been an outpour of mitzvahs around the world from Argentina to Russia,” said her father Rabbi Yossi Swerdlov, director of the Lubavitch Youth Organization of Israel’s Children of Chernobyl project, who himself has been leading a children’s services at the Tzemach Tzedek Shul in Jerusalem’s Old City. “I have been getting e-mails from all over the world.”
